Farewell to Ken and Jackie

KEN & JACQUI BEEVERS

It’s one of those occasions when you have a great big lump in your throat and a tear in your eye but you say, “Good luck and God Bless” and mean it. Ken and Jacqui, an absolute gem of a couple, have left us to go and live in Devon. Goodness how we shall miss their company, humour, companionship and lovely smiles. They weren’t with us for too long but for many of us we formed a special friendship which will last a lifetime.

Good luck to them from all of us!!

Jacqui keeps meticulous records. This is a list of the walks they did with the East Lancs and which they enriched with their presence. I am sure anyone who walked with them would agree.
